I would but I don't want to get kicked off the forum. I've been in California for 24 years now but I get back to the motherland occasionally.


That even sounds high for a Canadian gallon.

sorry can't touch the pronunciation of the Queens last name even though it sounds like a feminine body part...

37mpg is steady highway speed more like 25 in the city.

we have funny nicknames for our citys/provinces, saskabush = saskatchewan, edmonchuck = edmonton, cowtown = calgary, hongcouver = vancouver, ...

Mark from Winterpeg here...

I de-badged my boxster because:

a) I like the cleaner look without the badge

b) I agree with the comment about it being a dumb name for the car

c) I got tired of trying to clean and wax around the badge

The badge is now stuck to the lid of my toolbox, where it looks much better.

I was parked at a burger stand in Carman, a small town just outside Winnipeg, and one of the locals came up to me and asked me if it was a Porch or a Ferrari.
I replied that it was a Porsh-a, because a Porch is that wooden deck in front of your house with the rocking chairs on it where your son sits and plays the banjo. I don't think she really understood.

ok, for the slow folks, it's pronounced (Re g eye na)

litteng or Mark, if you ever want to come and visit, may I suggest you go straight through Regina, down to the boarder town of Climax.
It's a liitle out of the way but well worth the journey.

ps, wait til summer. i hear Regina is frigid right now.

Um, what body part sounds like "Windsor"?

So you head south from the town that sounds like a female body to end up at Climax. Hmm. Only in the prairies.

At least I understand the P-car culture a little better now, so I guess debadging is no biggie.

[litteng]

MarkT; you are correct, not the last name, just the title given to a reigning Queen?? i believe...
